Authentic Jamaican Rice and Peas in London Ontario

(58 reviews)

No Caribbean meal is complete without Jamaican Rice and Peas, and at Caribbean Stove PickUp in downtown London, Ontario, we make ours the authentic way. Long-grain rice is cooked in creamy coconut milk with kidney beans, fresh thyme, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper for a fragrant, fluffy, and deeply flavourful side dish that perfectly complements every item on our menu.

About Our Authentic Jamaican Rice and Peas

In Jamaica, despite the name, "rice and peas" almost always refers to rice cooked with kidney beans (the peas), not green peas. At Caribbean Stove PickUp, we follow this authentic tradition. Our rice and peas is made using long-grain white rice cooked together with kidney beans in a base of full-fat coconut milk, fresh thyme sprigs, whole garlic cloves, a whole scotch bonnet pepper (which infuses heat without making the dish overly spicy), and salt. The coconut milk gives the rice a subtle sweetness and creaminess that elevates it far beyond plain white rice.

The finished rice and peas is fragrant, fluffy, and wonderfully flavourful – a beautiful complement to our jerk chicken, oxtail, curry dishes, and every other item on our Caribbean menu. Many customers tell us our rice and peas alone is reason enough to visit. It is made fresh every day at our downtown London location and is available as a side with any main dish or as part of a full plate. Order online for delivery or pickup across London, Ontario.

Why Our Jamaican Rice and Peas Stands Out in London Ontario

Cooked in Coconut Milk for Authentic Caribbean Flavour

The secret to authentic Jamaican rice and peas is the coconut milk. It adds a subtle sweetness and body to the rice that water simply cannot provide. We use full-fat coconut milk and cook it in with the kidney beans, thyme, garlic, and a whole scotch bonnet so every grain is infused with island flavour.

Made Fresh Daily – Never Pre-Cooked or Reheated

Our rice and peas is made from scratch every day, never pre-cooked and stored. Fresh-made rice and peas has a light, fluffy texture and vibrant coconut-herb aroma that you simply cannot replicate with reheated rice. Our customers notice the difference immediately.

TripAdvisor Reviewer

Delicious Authentic Caribbean

"The rice and peas at Caribbean Stove PickUp are just as good as the main dishes! Perfectly cooked, fragrant with coconut and thyme, and the kidney beans add a great texture. Together with the jerk chicken it is the perfect Caribbean meal. This place is the real deal – authentic, flavourful, and great value."

Yelp Reviewer

"I know it sounds strange to rave about a side dish but the rice and peas here is genuinely outstanding. Coconut milk flavour is there without being overpowering, the rice is perfectly fluffy, and the whole dish tastes authentically Jamaican. It makes every main dish even better. Caribbean Stove PickUp is my favourite Caribbean restaurant in London Ontario!"
